"I bought two of these to replace the original batteries that are over ten years old. These batteries really last, it seems like 50% more than the original batteries. The drill just keeps going and lasts much longer. Two of these will last all day long with constant use. One will last all day with intermittent use. I would recommend these batteries to anyone wanting to replace their old batteries and this will allow you to enjoy using the drill again. After all that is why you bought the drill in the first place to use it, not to have it sit on your workbench!"

"I have had Dewalt 18 volt tools for about 14 years. I use them for projects on my house plus 3 rentals and my two kids homes. The only time I am not busy on a project building sheds, replacing roofs, or remodeling kitchens or bathrooms, etc. is if I am off on a fishing or hunting trip so they get almost as much use as a professional would give them. I bought a set of two of these batteries when the original batteries for my first tool set went bad. A year later I bought a second set of tools because the first set was wore out. These batteries are lasting longer between charges and have more power than the batteries I got with the new tools. I will say that it definitely makes a difference with all the batteries which charger I use to charge them with. The charger that came with my first set of tools has a refresh cycle if you leave the batteries on over night. The charge lasts a lot longer and the batteries have more power if I use that charger."

"I had purchased 2 of these batteries and they did not seem to hold up any better than the original batteries and the spares that I had bought before these were released. They had to be charged up more often! They did not last any longer before having to be replaced by a new set of batteries."

"The DeWalt XRP battery, although more powerful than most, does not have the battery life I would expect. This battery seems to have a higher failure rate than I would expect from DeWalt. The ION battery promises to be a much better buy than the XRP."
